    I haven't posted in ages either.
    Good headlines (OUT) include regular declutterings donated to the Charity shop or taken to the recycling centre. I've started going through old teaching resources so lots of paper.
    DD blitzed her wardrobe so we E-Bayed several items.
    I've sold 5 books on Greenmetropolis in the last 2 months. :D

    Bad headlines (IN)... my china & glass collection is growing again & I have found several lovely embroidered linen-ish tablecloths ....I blame the charity shop :o.

    Overall I think monitoring the IN/OUT flow is the way forward for this house, but I MUST empty the attic :eek::eek::eek::eek:
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
  • In: Possibly some mail later.
    Out: The entire contents of my section of the fridge and freezer as it died a few hours ago and I daren't risk food poisoning. Eating as much as I can throughout the day though...
